Application
The optical read-out head is used to transmit data from
energy meters, electricity meters and similar measuring
equipment to computers and hand-held terminals via
an optical data port.
Applications range from single data readings, e.g. for
accounting purposes, to more comprehensive program-
ming of meters.
The optical read-out head is fitted with a permanent
magnet, which ensures that the head remains securely
on the meter during data acquisition. Data is transmit-
ted via an infrared light. The read-out head has – as do
meters – both a transmitter and receiver for serial, two-
way communication.
